Costello Mob

The Costello Mob was an Irish Mob organization in Boston, Massachusetts. The organization was led by Francis Costello, and it engaged in extortion, drug dealing, racketeering, prostitution, and murder; the gang was rivals with the Patriarca crime family of Providence, and killed its members when they tried to muscle in on Boston. The gang was also enemies with any other gangs in the Worcester section of Boston, and it was allied with the Boston Triads. In 2006, Costello and most his crew were killed in a police shootout at the Sheffield warehouse, and the gang disbanded.
